Chapter Thirty-Four: Talking about the Trap Box
"Old Zou, what kind of trap box?"
Liu Sheng carefully looked at the wooden box of the Eight Immortals of Rosewood Crossing the Sea in his hand, except for the excessive delicacy of the decoration with many techniques such as treasure inlay, red picking, wood carving, etc., there was no trace of the mechanism at all.
"Don't you know the way?" At this time, Zou Lao was also stunned.
In Zou Lao's impression, Liu Sheng's teacher Kong Xiwen is also a master of machine skills in addition to his extremely high attainments in bronze Buddha statues, and Liu Sheng should not be unable to see such a small machine box.
"What do I know?" Liu Sheng was a little depressed, if it weren't for the fact that the teacher didn't teach him the trick, and the demon mirror machine spirit didn't give him the perspective eye, how could he be so passive.
"Hehe, it seems that Lao Kong hasn't shaken off his bits and pieces, and he still has a hand, let's not talk about this organ first, you can tell me how you got this box first." Zou Lao smiled and did not answer Liu Sheng's question.
Liu Sheng didn't hide it, and directly poured beans into a bamboo tube to tell what happened in the Shuiji antique trading market, and also emphasized Ti Lin Lao, hoping to know who this person was.
"Alas, I really don't know if your kid is good or bad, as for the old man Lin you said, he is an authority in the country in the identification of ancient coins, and he also has a little dabbling in porcelain, the background, you will slowly know the Tao in the future." After listening to Liu Sheng's story, Zou Lao couldn't help crying and laughing.
"The soldiers will block the water and cover the earth, what do I have to fear, anyway, I may not have the opportunity to go to Japan in this life." Liu Sheng said confidently.
Liu Sheng didn't take Zou Lao's worries too seriously, even if the Ono family's power was greater, it was still in Japan, and it was beyond his reach to deal with himself, if his hand was too long, someone would definitely chop his hand off, and he didn't need to do it himself.
"Just pay attention to yourself anyway." Zou Lao shook his head secretly, he was still young.
"Old Zou, where is the mechanism of this machine box?" Liu Sheng is more interested in the mechanism on the box than in the future when the Ono family makes trouble for him.
"Let's not talk about it, you can tell me what you know about this box." Zou Lao said with a smile.
"Please also ask Mr. Zou for more advice." Liu Sheng looked at the box intently.
This red sandalwood eight immortals across the sea mechanism box is rectangular, the corners are rounded, there are ribbon-like short feet, the cover, the body and the mother and mouth are combined, the lips are slightly curled, the cover is raised, the length is 16.1cm, the width is 13.5cm, and the height is 9cm. There is no trace of cohesion throughout the body, and it can be judged that it is completely taken out of a piece of whole material, which is absolutely rare.
To know that this box is used to be the "emperor's wood" known as sandalwood rosewood, or small leaf red sandalwood or green dragon wood, this kind of red sandalwood is only 5 years long a year, it takes hundreds of years to material, and ten sandalwood and nine empty, the largest diameter on the market is only about 20 centimeters, there is a "inch of sandalwood inch gold, in the Ming and Qing dynasties, if the yamen found that the red sandalwood should be bought at any cost, and returned to the treasury. Its wood is very oily, moist like rhinoceros horn, and has fine, beautiful, vivid cow hair patterns, its color is deep purple or black purple, deep, steady, is a very good material for making furniture.
The general red sandalwood is plain light, and few carving techniques are used to decorate, because this will cover up the exquisite wood grain of the red sandalwood itself, but it is not beautiful, but this red sandalwood box does the opposite, using a large number of carvings, openwork, high relief techniques will set off the natural beauty of the red sandalwood more beautiful, and in the subtle thrilling place boldly use the rhino, red techniques to assist, there is a special ingenuity; In addition, gold, silver, precious stones, pearls, coral, jasper, jade, crystal, agate, tortoiseshell, canal, lapis lazuli, green pine, luodian, ivory, dense wax, and agarwood are inlaid with the angle of light, emitting various brilliance.
"This red sandalwood eight immortals across the sea box, boldly using a variety of carving techniques and rhino, red, treasure inlay combined, produced an incredible effect, the overall is very beautiful, giving people a sense of grace and luxury, and the whole is still a piece of red sandalwood dug up, in the Ming and Qing dynasties are generally built in the background of large furniture is really rare." After about two or three minutes, Liu Sheng took a deep breath and said eloquently.
"Well, that's a good point." Zou Lao bowed slightly, very satisfied with Liu Sheng's answer.
"That..." Liu Sheng was a little impatient.
"Hehe, what's the hurry, it's easy to open this trap box, it depends on your understanding, in fact, the answer is above these eight immortals." Zou Lao looked at Liu Sheng's frizzy appearance and couldn't help but think of himself when he was young.
"Eight Immortals?" It was not the first time that Liu Sheng noticed the Eight Immortals on the lid of the box, but he returned again and again in vain.
"Why don't you believe it?" Looking at Liu Sheng's puzzled look, Zou Lao asked rhetorically.
"Well, that's a nice day." Liu Sheng scratched his head in embarrassment and said helplessly.
"I know that you little monkey cub don't believe it, and if you don't show your hand, you still can't look at people through the crack in the door?" Zou Lao scolded with a smile.
Zou Lao took out a few bottles from his study, and seemed to be indiscriminately opposed, and after a while, a bottle of clear and transparent liquid was dispensed out, and then poured on the eight immortal patterns on the lid of the box, as the liquid increased, the eight immortal patterns began to change, as if in the early morning budding flower bones suddenly bloomed its beauty, and the eight immortals also seemed to be alive, as if walking slowly on the lid of the box.
"Old Zou, what's going on?" Liu Sheng asked a little unconfidently.
If the previous Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea was a bas-relief carved by the technique of plane subtraction, now it has become a high relief, and with the change of light and shade, the eight figures seem to be about to walk down from above.
"Hehe, don't care about this yet, my little skill will be passed on to you sooner or later, who made me promise Old Man Yang?" Zou Lao did not answer positively, but left Liu Sheng with some thoughts.
"It's easiest to open the trap box, as long as you find the trick, it's easy to open, and the general mechanism things are combined with the theory of the five elements of yin and yang, take this trap box as an example, as long as you find the key to the five elements of yin and yang, it's easy to open." Zou Lao continued.
"Really?" Liu Sheng's eyes couldn't help but light up, it seemed that he had hit the muzzle of the gun.
Lu Dongbin belongs to the elephant of dry gold. Qiangua pure yang, so called pure yang ancestor, the sword used is also called pure yang sword. Tie Guan Li belongs to the elephant of gold, with the iron crutch as the foot, the iron belongs to gold, and the foot is in the subordinate yin, indicating the image of soft gold, which is different from the gold of Qiangang. He Xiangu belongs to the elephant of Kuntu, she is the only woman among the eight immortals, and she is a soft earth. Uncle Cao Guo belonged to the Gen Earth Elephant, and the book says that his brother's underground soul possessed him and did evil, imprisoning his own soul in the ground. The earth is the place of the earth, but it is the earth, because he himself defeated the evil through a duel with the evil spirits, and restored his spirit, the image of the strong. Zhang Guolao belongs to the elephant of Zhenmu and ranks due east. Because Zhang Guo was old in the Moon Palace, the tree was originally a rigid wood, which was different from the soft wood. Lan Caihe belongs to the elephant of Xunmu, holding bluegrass in his hand, and the herbs are all soft wood. Han Xiangzi belongs to the elephant of Kanshui. In the novel, there is a great drought among the people, and Han Xiangzi blows the flute and rains for the people. Zhongli Quan belongs to the elephant of leaving the fire. Han Zhongli has a fierce temperament, and his treasure fan is on fire, and the fire of the Dragon Palace is all done by Han Zhongli.
"Click, click..."
Zou Lao replied to Liu Sheng with action, and as the Eight Immortals moved, there was a sound of shaft rubbing against each shaft in the lid of the box, which made people nervous.
"Let's go."
The lid of the box was originally divided into two halves, a delicate and strange mutton fat jade narcissus hairpin.
"Zigang daffodil hairpin?"
